A stereo integrated amplifier with built-in networked music player, combining the purist-inspired functionalities of Pro-Ject 's own celebrated MaiA S3 with those of a fully-featured networked music player, redefining the product category to which it belongs by taking a very different approach to the traditional one.
An approach whose essence is to achieve the perfect fusion of the analogue and digital worlds, which means that in the Uni Box S3 the signals from analogue sources are not digitised, thus preserving the naturalness of their sonic character and restoring every subtlety of the music with spectacular punch and dynamic precision.
Looking deeper into the engineering of the Uni Box S3, the design elements retained from the aforementioned MaiA S3 are first and foremost: the amplifier technology, the analogue architecture of the pre- and output stages, the very low-noise MM phono stage, the analogue inputs and outputs, and the headphone output.
Meanwhile, details that are unique to the Uni Box S3 include carefully integrated digital streaming circuitry, which is managed by the renowned WiiM OS operating system, generous multi-room options, the ability to stream content from any source (including turntables) you have to other streamers in your home, and the ability to connect to a TV via HDMI ARC.
